There are not over a 100 people in the U.S. that hate the Catholic Church, there are millions however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing.- Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Your Love is Better Than Life (by the Newsboys)

I was listening to this and it is not only a fun song musically (it's the closest to rap I'll get) but it's so deep. Isn't it interesting as well how close love songs and Christian songs are?

"I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught,
I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got,
I dunno if I ever had an original thought,
maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend,
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed send,
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but this one thing I know

R:YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine R.
Without your love, it’s all a mindless routine R.
Without your love, I’m in another free fall R.
Without your love, I’ve got nothing at all

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos and harps? Do we sleep? Do we fly? I dunno
how, when and why this world will finally end,
Speculation’s gonna grow, who knows best, I dunno
I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve,
I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe,
I dunno when it’s a ministry and when it’s a show
maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know

R.
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine R.
Without your touch I’m not a full human being R.
If I should ever leave, where would I go? R.
I look to you ‘cause you’re the lover of my soul

HERE’S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
HERE’S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

I dunno when to walk away or stand and fight
just when I’ve got it wrong, I’m sure I heard you right
and when my arguments are watertight you expose every hole with a flash and a flood and I know
I hear you call in the eye of the storm and I know you’ve had my back since the day I was born still
stoking my heart
still stirring my head
you’re my pillar of fire
you’re the wine, you’re the bread, and

R.
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine R.
Without your love, it’s all a mindless routine R.
Without your love, I’m in another free fall R.
Without your love, I’ve got nothing at all

R.
I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught, I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got, R.
I dunno if I ever had an original thought, maybe not, maybe so, maybe soon, maybe later, I dunno R.
I dunno when I’ve got it right or wrong, I dunno how I can rap it in a four minute song, but I know
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
My grip is better when I’m not hanging on, your love is making us strong (all along)
Your love is better than life"

The bits in italic really capture how I feel :)  (The all caps parts came in the lyrics that way)
